I'm an equal-opportunity enthusiast for automobiles, but, you know, my New Year's Resolution every year is that I'm gonna take a real automotive class because I spend a lot of time broken down by the side of the road. But so far, I usually still need help unless it's changing a tire.
Seeing the road show of 'A Chorus Line' in 1977 at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Memphis was a life-changing event for me: there were gay people, on the stage, and they all lived in New York.

Christian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace.

I'm doing a lot more cardio now. I want to be able to run and run and run and not get tired, you know, be able to play at a high level for all four quarters.
